I have a spreadsheet with my actual consumption for one year a couple of years ago (hasn't changed much) into which I can plug per-unit rates, standing charges and discounts etc., and it compares the outcome with my present tariff. They are all going up, but in my specific case, I looked at a fixed 2-year rate at Ovo starting now-ish (which is more than the 1-year rate) vs. Ecotricity. The difference for two fuels was about £300 in Ovo's favour. Hence 52 x £6 "free" charges = ~£300. That does NOT take account of my increased domestic electricity when I start charging an EV from it, and I will want/need to charge it at home of course. That will widen this gap.

I'm switching this week as my current tariff ends this month. I chose Tonik as they are green and not much more expensive than the best in the comparison results.
Ecotricity weren't anywhere in the comparison results.

Looks like the free 52 charges has been stopped. 17p per kw from now on by the looks of it. See my post in the leaf thread.

"As an Ecotricity customer you currently benefit from our original offer of 52 free charges in a year. We intend to maintain that offer until your first anniversary with us, or your first 52 charges (whichever comes first). Then we will transfer you to the new charging model."
